Chapel Stained Glass
Thanks to a generous gift from the Eugene E. and Nell S. Fincke Memorial Trust, stained glass windows have been installed throughout the entirety of the chapel — chancel, transept, nave and narthex.
Chapel
The Chapel of St. Timothy and St. Titus stands at the heart and center of Concordia Seminary. It is here that the faculty, students, staff and members of the community hear of the Lord’s promises and receive His gifts. It is here where we come together united as the body of Christ to receive His true body and blood. The words and gifts of Jesus mold and shape seminarians into becoming the pastors Saints Timothy and Titus were. In this chapel future pastors learn how to lead worship and the liturgy, preach, sing and pray.
All members of the Seminary community and the public are invited to join with us in daily worship.

Chapel History
Several years before the chapel’s dedication, former Seminary President Dr. Karl L. Barth began an effort to gather the necessary resources to construct a freestanding chapel on the Seminary’s campus.
